One of the most exciting weeks on the #SoleWatch calendar concludes with our final set of power rankings before the start of the new year.
Though sneaker brands passed on releasing Christmas-themed footwear this year, they did supply athletes with festive Player Exclusives for the holiday. Additionally, several players took matters into their own hands by having custom pairs made. In fact, custom sneakers are becoming a hotter trend around the league, similar to what's been taking place in the NFL. Unlike the NFL, the NBA is very relaxed on footwear rules, which should make the rest of the season exciting to watch.
It was an overall interesting week for Team Adidas, beginning with Nick Young's mismatched tribute to Tracy McGrady on Christmas Day and ending with John Wall teasing a return to the 3-Stripes. Slowly, but surely, it feels like Adidas Basketball is picking up some of momentum its Originals and running divisions are experiencing.
